Explanation / Answer

Clear Transmissions Company All Amounts in $ Cash Collections = Sales + Decrease in Accounts Receivable = 1,320 + 12 = 1,332 (a) Cash Payments to Vendors = Cost of Goods Sold - Decrease in Inventory - Increase in Accounts Payable (b) = 500 - 10 - 6 = 484 Cash Payments for Operating Expenses = Salaries Expense + Decrease in Salaries Payable (c) = 220 + 6 = 226 Cash Payments for Interest = Interest Expense - Increase in Interest Payable (d) = 40 - 5 = 35 Cash Payment for Income Taxes = Income Tax Expense - Increase in Income Taxes Payable (e) = 182 - 5 = 177 Thus, Cash Flows from Operating Activities = (a) - (b) - (c) - (d) - (e) = 1,332 - 484 - 226 - 35 - 177 = 410
